† Reported in this PAC’s own disbursement filing; the recipient’s receipt filing hasn’t itemized it yet.

Tracked candidates reported receiving $33,500 from this committee — $2,500 more than its own filings itemize ($31,000), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.

Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
